Schoharie May 11 th , 1846.
Sir:
Enclosed are two affidavits in the matter of the application of Elizabeth Enders for a pension.
John Schooncraft, Jacob Enders & Elias Hillsinger, are the only surviving persons to be found, as yet, who served in Capt. Hubrechts Company. The affidavits of Schooncraft and Enders are annexed to the widows Declaration, and Hillsinger's and Clark's affidavits are enclosed. The widow will not, probably, be able to furnish any further evidence.
The Justice who took the affidavit of Mr. Clark, through inadvertence neglected to sign the certificate of competency, and as he lived some distance off I thought probably the County Clerks certificate would and answer the same purpose.
Mr. Clark is a gentleman of respectability and a church member in good standing, so that any additional certificate of veracity can easily be obtained if required.
Very respectfully yours &c

Sir
Schoharie December 20, 1845.
Enclosed are the pension papers of Widow Elizabeth Enders. - If it should be required of her to show why she did not apply before, I can merely say that I was called upon by some one, in her behalf, in 1839 or 40, to see if I could get a pension for her. I told the man that she was not married in time to entitle her to a pension, which I then believed to be the case; after that it does not appear that any further action was had in the matter till the commencement of the enclosed proceedings. -
The marriage has been found in an old Register of the High Dutch Church and a certified copy annexed to the papers.
I am, very respectfully yours H.
